Background Research

Morphology is the size and shape of an organism. I have measured many different labradors. I have measured both american and english labs. I figured out that the english lab is bigger than the american lab, because the english lab has bigger morphology.
Dogs have different morphology because they live in different environments. Like bullmastiffs and chihuahuas. The bullmastiff is so much bigger for different reasons. Labrador Retrievers are considered “Gun Dogs”. American labs are considered field dogs, and are more hyper. English are calmer, and are more of bird dogs.
The labrador retrievers originated in Newfoundland. Labradors were water dogs breed with newfoundland dogs. That produced Labrador retrievers. They were not called labrador retrievers until some time after that. Labradors go as far back as the 1800’s. They were recognized by the kennel club in the early 1900’s.
We have found that English Labradors are bigger than american labs. They have a bigger morphology. They are bigger, but not by a lot. We measured five English Labs, and nine American labs. It was very accurate measuring, and a long process.
